PCI 368DSP Sound Card Users Manual
Why isnt there any sound from the speakers ?
Go through the following steps:
1. Make sure that the connections from your speakers to your computer are
as described in
section 3.2 - Connecting Your Sound Card
.
2. Your speakers are
active (amplified)
speakers (with built in power supply
and amplifer). Passive speakers (without built in power supply and
amplifer) can only be used if connected to an external amplifer.
3. Power from the Mains to your speakers are properly connected and powered
ON.
4. You are running Windows
®
95/98/NT
®
4.0. If you are running Windows
®
95, you need to install DirectX that comes with your CD. (See the FAQ
- What version of DirectX should be installed ?)
5. The Output Mode (
ThunderBird 128 Control Panel
>
Settings
tab)
must be set to
Speaker
if you are using only the 2 front speakers and to
Quad
, if you are using 4 speakers.
There is a yellow exclamation mark (error) for the VLSI_QSound
ThunderBird 128 PCI Legacy Audio device.
Certain motherboards with USB capability may encounter this problem. The
USB port(s), when enabled, may contend with the PCI 368 Sound Blaster
Emulation device for the same IRQ resource resulting in a conflict.
The PCI 368 Sound Blaster Emulation device typically uses IRQ 5 and IRQ
10.
Depending on the type of motherboard you have, there may be 2 possible ways
to solve this problem:
1. Reserve IRQ 5 for ISA slots (configurable in the BIOS).
2. Disable COM Port 2 (configurable in the BIOS).
